Injured in an accident – Do I report the claim to my insurance company or the at-fault insurance company?May 10th, 2013IF THE ACCIDENT IS NOT YOUR FAULT, FLORIDA LAW PROHIBITS YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY FROM RAISING YOUR RATES FOR FILING A PIP CLAIM, PROPERTY CLAIM, OR MEDICAL PAYMENTS CLAIM (Florida Statute, 626.9541). Child Support Questions and AnswersMay 1st, 2013Is Child Support calculated by statutory guidelines? Yes. Child support is a factor of both: (1) the combined monthly net income of the parties; and (2) the number of (minor) children.

Characteristics of the BEST personal injury attorney – FOR YOUApril 24th, 2013As a Broward County personal injury attorney, I am oftentimes asked by potential clients, “Am I the BEST personal injury attorney in Broward County?” My response is always the same, “I am very experienced and have excellent credentials and, as such, may be the BEST personal injury attorney for this case depending on your specific needs and wants.” Since every client has different needs and wants, no one personal injury attorney can claim to be the BEST for everyone all the time.

Like any major overhaul, especially one that impacts thousands of individuals, some camps support the Legislature’s decision; other camps oppose the Legislature’s decision. Regardless of your position, any individual considering filing for divorce must know the (updated) alimony landscape moving forward. Before I delve into the changes, I first want to shed some light on the impetus for the change.

Surprising to some, DUI cases can be extremely complicated, especially to novice defense attorneys. DUI cases involve a variety of evidence, including observations of the accused’s behavior (i.e. red, watery, bloodshot eyes), field sobriety exercise results, statements, chemical testing, etc. There is good news for individuals arrested for DUI: an experienced Broward County criminal defense attorney can seek to suppress evidence procured in the case, typically by filing a “stop motion” Can I be arrested for a few loose oxycodone or xanax pills in my pocket?March 25th, 2013As a Broward County criminal defense attorney, many of my drug-related cases involve individuals who after being pulled over for a routine traffic violation (i.e. speeding), were subsequently arrested for possessing a few (i.e. one or two) loose oxycodone or xanax pills without an accompanying prescription. |
